GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Harness and exploit the power of the PCI bus with this low
cost solution to all your test, measurement, and control
applications. The PCI-441 combines analog input, analog
output, digital input/output (I/O), and counter/timer I/O on a
desktop PCI plug-in board that is designed for intelligent, high
precision data acquisition and process control. It is particularly
suited to a host of sensor and transducer inputs, such as strain
gauges, RTD's, bridge circuits, and displacement sensing
elements, as well as strip chart recording , and multi-channel
data logging in factory automation, research labs, and
industrial control.
Figure 1. PCI-441 Functional Block Diagram
Using the latest data conversion technology, the PCI-441
combines many of the features usually provided in expensive
stand alone data acquisition systems with significant savings.
Numerous external signal conditioning modules are available
to accommodate various sensor input requirements such as
cold junction compensation (CJC) for thermocouples,
linearization, channel isolation, current inputs, and relay
switching. The PCI bus plug and play (PnP) interface enables
PC auto-detection and initialization, and eliminates all user
hardware configuration. Simply plug the board into your PC,
install DATEL's PCI-441WIN software, and within minutes you
will be analyzing and displaying data in real time, or archiving
that data onto hard disk for later processing.

The PCI-441A or C offers 16 single-ended analog inputs that
are software configurable as 8 true differential inputs.
PCI-441B or D models include an additional 16 single-ended
or 8 differential A/D channels, bringing the total count to 32
single-ended or 16 differential analog inputs. The full scale
input voltage range is 5V for models PCI-441A and B or 10V
for the PCI-441C or D. Each input channel includes blank
component pads that are user-configurable to accept different
input voltage ranges, current inputs, simple filters, or other
signal conditioning. A software programmable gain amplifier
(PGA) offers high input signal gains that allow the board to
detect low level sensor inputs. The A/D resolution is 16 bits,
and it can sample at up to 200 thousand times per second.
Channels can be individually sampled, or a software
selectable group of adjacent channels can be scanned
continuously.
A/D data passes directly to an on-board first-in-first-out (FIFO)
memory. This architecture allows non-stop, continuous data
streaming to the PC without losing any samples. PC streaming
mode uses high speed PCI bus mastering (also known as
Direct Memory Access - DMA) to place the data directly into
host memory without CPU intervention. This frees up host
CPU processing time, allowing it to perform other concurrent
tasks such as data analysis, data display, and process control.
Slower speed applications can use the FIFO to store up to 512
samples. Synchronization provided by software detectable
FIFO flags (full, half full, and empty), and an end of trigger
frame indicator, enable the host to periodically read one or all
stored samples, and then return to other simultaneous tasks
until more data is ready.
The A/D sampling rate is software selectable using an on-
board 82C54 timer. The timer allows software programmable
sampling rates from the maximum A/D speed of 200 KHz all
the way down to 15.25 Hz. A/D sampling can also be directly
controlled by a user-supplied external clock input. An internal
programmable trigger timer allows acquisition of blocks of
samples separated by programmable delays. In addition,
external digital triggers can be used. For application
synchronization and event detection, a programmable sample
counter specifies the number of samples per trigger frame,
which is independent of FIFO size and PCI bus transfer
counts. This flexible timing architecture makes the PCI-441 an
ideal solution for most medium speed electronic test,
measurement, instrumentation, and control applications.
A second programmable counter/timer accommodates pulse
rate (frequency) and period measurements, event counting,
clock and timebase generation, square wave generation, and
other general timing applications. An on-board, precision 10
MHz oscillator is used as the timebase for timing and wave
generation. Digital pulse trains can be generated at pre-
programmed rates and software selectable pulse widths for
logic testing and simulation. Externally supplied inputs allow
period and frequency measurements, as well as event
counting.
The PCI-441 provides voltage and current excitation outputs for
RTD's and strain gauges. The strain gauge voltage output is a
regulated +10V (100 mA max.) source, while the RTD current
source output is fixed at 500A (2% nominal). To verify strain
gauge voltages and RTD currents these excitation outputs can
be steered by software to the analog inputs. Other on-board
software selectable A/D input sources include 2.5V and 3.33V
fixed references and both D/A channels (on PCI-441B/D only).
An on-board temperature transducer uses a precision bandgap
voltage reference to provide an output voltage that varies
linearly with temperature. This temperature sensor can be
selected as an A/D input for reference temperature
compensation for thermocouples and RTD's.

PCI-441WIN(S) Software
Windows
95/98/NT/2K have become the platforms of choice for
many data acquisition, test, measurement, and control
applications. These feature-rich, 32-bit operating systems exploit
huge gigabyte memory, secure multi-threading, and hardware
plug-and-play (PnP) to provide high performing, user friendly
working environments. PCI-441WIN is an interactive data
acquisition, analysis, display, signal generation, and digital I/O
software system for the PCI-441 that runs under Windows
95/
98/NT/2K. It consists of a point-and-click graphic user interface
(GUI), a dynamic link library (DLL), and a device driver.
PCI-441WIN main features include:
Plug and Play (PnP) hardware detection and initialization.
Easy-to-use, point and click graphic user interface (GUI).
Transparent A/D data transfer to PC memory using DMA.
Control multiple PCI-441's in the same PC simultaneously.
A/D configuration PGA gain, sample rate, etc.
Set the DAC voltage and 4-20 mA current outputs.
Read and write the digital I/O ports.
Event counting, period, and frequency measurements.
Generate digital signals, program pulse rates and widths.
PCI-441WIN automatically detects the PCI-441, configures the
hardware, and continuously streams A/D sensor data to host
memory using PCI bus DMA. A/D selections such as single-
ended/differential, PGA gain, sample rate, trigger rate, and
channel scan groups can be selected with the mouse.
Generate dynamic voltage waveforms or DC levels from both
DAC voltage and 4-20 mA outputs. Read and write the digital
I/O ports on command, or transfer blocks of data to and from
the ports for pattern recognition, digital signature generation,
and control. Timer control and manipulation selections perform
event counting, pulse rate measurement, and pulse
generation. Skillful graphic manipulation allows display
panning and zooming, and the raw data can be displayed in
decimal or hex, with real time scrolling.
PCI-441WIN turns your PC into an intelligent data logger,
archiving all A/D sensor data to disk for later analysis using
third party applications such as Excel
, DaDisp
, LabVIEW
,
and HyperSignal
. Analog and digital channel expansion can
be achieved by running multiple PCI-441's in the same PC
simultaneously. Multiple, concurrent real time displays can be
viewed, and the data from each board can be logged to
separate disk files for later analysis.
PCI-441B/D models include two 16-bit digital to analog
converters (DAC's) that add precision adjustable voltage and
current outputs for transducer excitation, process control, and
programmable voltage sources. The full scale output voltage
range is 10V, at 5 mA maximum per channel. Each DAC
channel drives an on-board 4-20 mA current loop. The
excitation power for the current loop is user-selectable from an
internal 12V reference or from an external 12V to 30V supply.
User supplied excitation allows higher impedance loads to be
connected while still maintaining current loop voltage
compliance. Gain and offset adjustment potentiometers are
provided on each DAC channel for precision calibration. Under
software control, the DAC outputs can drive the analog inputs
for A/D and PGA calibration.
PCI-441B/D models also provide 16 digital inputs and 16
digital outputs for discrete monitoring and control systems,
inter-machine communication, digital pattern recognition,
digital signature generation, and relay switching applications.
All the lines are TTL and CMOS compatible. The output port
latches the data when commanded by host software. A user-
supplied strobe latches data at the input port for reading by
host software. The digital lines are accessed via an internal flat
cable header, that also supplies +5V and ground for external
circuits. Various transition panels allow direct connection to
industry standard interfaces such as Opto 22 modules.
The PCI-441 is built on a three quarter length desktop PCI
board that occupies one PCI slot. The product is manufactured
in DATEL's ISO9001 facility. The PCI bus interface is
implemented using an AMCC S5933 PCI bus controller that
supports full PCI bus mastering.

PCI-441LV for LabVIEW
(Windows
95/98/NT/2K only)
Virtual instrumentation has revolutionized data acquisition and
process control. LabVIEW
from National Instruments pioneers
virtual instrumentation. Save yourself weeks and months of
software development by graphically assembling your
programs as a block diagrams rather than writing code.
Together with Datel's PCI-441LV driver library, LabVIEW
transforms the PCI-441 into easy-to-use virtual instruments
that acquire, analyze, display, and archive digitized waveforms
in real time, use the timer I/O for event counting and rate
generation and measurement, and use the digital I/O and D/A
channels for process control. Low level software development
is replaced by visual, drag-and-drop programming that
harnesses all the power of Windows
95/98/NT/2K graphic
user interface (GUI), huge gigabyte memory, multi-tasking,
plug-and-play, and inter-process communication via OLE/DDE.
How does PCI-441 programming under LabVIEW
work? It's
very simple! Using the mouse, you select a set of VI's from a
function palette and "wire" them together...like creating a
flowchart. There is absolutely no coding involved. All the low-
level hardware interaction and control is transparently included
in the drag-and-drop VI's supplied in PCI-441LV. You can
concentrate on the real specifics of your application (such as
data processing, display, and storage), rather than wasting
time getting the hardware up and running. In addition to the
hardware control provided by PCI-441LV, LabVIEW
provides
hundreds of data analysis and display functions that can be
used in real time or for post-processing.
PCI-441LV is a comprehensive library of simple, fast, modular VI's
that allow complete hardware control. VI's can be visually strung
together to acquire non-stop, seamless data into huge host
buffers using PCI DMA or CPU status polling. Multiple PCI-441's
can be configured to operate simultaneously in the same PC. You
can install and run as many boards as there are vacant PCI bus
slots in your computer. All boards will perform concurrent PCI bus
DMA data transfer to host memory without conflicts.
Datel's VI library includes complete functional VI programs that
exercise all PCI-441 features A/D, D/A, digital I/O, event
counting, rate generation, and period/frequency
measurements. They include:
Plug-and-play hardware detection and initialization.
Run multiple PCI-441's in the same PC.
Allocate DMA buffers single and dual (circular buffering).
Configure data acquisition sample and trigger rate, clock/
trigger source, sample count, channel scan blocks, etc.
Figure 5. PCI-441LV Virtual Instrument
Update analog outputs voltage and 4-20mA current.
Read and write the digital I/O ports.
Configure the event counter and rate generator.
Measure pulse frequency and period.
Monitor the FIFO flags during data acquisition.
Transfer data from the FIFO using status or PCI bus DMA.
Pause DMA allow access to local registers during DMA.
Reload the DMA registers without interrupting the A/D.
Low level register I/O read/write all PCI-441 registers.
Fully functional VI example programs to illustrate usage.
The LabVIEW
libraries, supplied by National Instruments,
include hundreds of user-interaction, data analysis, and data
display functions, including:
Controls/indicators
Meters/gauges
Knobs/dials
Toggle/slide switches
Slider controls
Numeric math
Boolean evaluation
Looping
Histograms
Standard deviation
Matrix math
Vector Math
Linear evaluation
Polynomials
Statistics
Curve fitting
File I/O
2-D plotting
3-D plotting
Charts/graphs
Frames/borders
Internet communication
OLE automation DDE
In addition, National Instrument's offers various add-on and
helper packages for LabVIEW
. An Advanced Analysis package
provides still more data analysis and display functions. The DSP
Analysis library includes signal generation functions (impulse,
pattern, white noise, etc.), various digital filters, data windowing,
and time and frequency domain processing. Application Builder
can be used to generate a standalone application from your VI
program. This can then be executed under Windows
95/98/NT/
2K, independent of LabVIEW
. Make your applications Internet-
aware with the Internet Developers Toolkit
. Transfer data via E-
mail or FTP and use a Web browser to monitor and control
experiments remotely on the World Wide Web. Please contact
National Instruments directly for more information on these and
other "plug-ins".
PCI-441LV is accompanied by a detailed user manual that
describes each VI. LabVIEW
allows DLL function calls directly
from a VI graphic. If you wish to develop your own VI's or
modify existing VI's, PCI-441LVS is the source code for PCI-
441LV. It includes all functions contained in the dynamic link
library(DLL). The DLL, which was developed using Microsoft
Visual C
++
5.0, implements all hardware control and monitor
functions and does not need to be modified. To help with your
development, the DLL functions are thoroughly documented in
the PCI-441 users manual.

PC-5B Series Modules
The 5B Series provides excellent signal conditioning performance.
Modules can be mixed and matched on one backplane, permitting
users to address their exact needs, and may be changed without
disturbing field wiring. The isolated input modules provide 0 to +5
V, or 5 V to +5 V outputs (depending on model type) and accept J,
K, T, E, R, S, N, and B thermocouples; 100
platinum RTD's;
strain gauges; mV, V, 4-20 mA, frequency (0 to 250 KHz), and wide
bandwidth (10 KHz) mV and V signals. These modules feature
